http://pacifica.org/This is a small radio network, Pacifica, just five stations in LA, San Francisco, Houston, Washington and New York, but they are also on line. It is independent media, not dependent on advertising dollars, and therefore content is directed by motivation to report facts. They do an excellent job of that, though of course anything that is balanced or "fair" when it comes to media is perceived as a liberal bias. Pacifica generally rates pretty high with fact checkers. The stations raise their own support through listener membership and contributions, and provide a significant amount of locally based and volunteer programming. Even though they don't subscribe to ratings services (which are designed to puff the commercial stations) they have a pretty solid and growing following. When I lived in Houston, I had them on all the time. Now, I log on to their Washington, DC affiliate and listen online.
